It had been a week since Hirudegarn's defeat and Bulma was now brimming with curiosity. She had known the identity of Neo's parents for a while now and the thought of those two together seemed alien to her. She decided that she would tell him what she knew and hopefully get answers to her questions.

Neo was finishing up another training session with Vegeta. He was inching ever closer to achieving his goal, and Vegeta was sure that he would have Oozaru mastered within five years. He would be ready to test his true power against Glorft and hopefully win.

As he walked into Capsule Corp. he was called aside by Bulma who lead him down to an isolated hallway. Neo was confused, but wasn't worried. "So what do you want to talk about?"

Bulma cleared her throat and took a deep breathe in preparation of what she was about to ask. "I know who both of your parents are. Your father is Gohan and your mother is Eighteen. Is that correct?"

Neo's eyes widened. "You found out who they were from that DNA test you did on me earlier?"

Bulma nodded. "Sorry, but I was curious as to who your mother was. I overheard you telling Gohan that he was you father so…" Now that she had said it, she felt somewhat ashamed of her actions. She knew that both of Neo's parents were with someone else in this timeline and understood why he couldn't tell them.

"It's fine," said Neo, sensing her anxiety. "I don't blame you for being curious, but please don't tell anyone. I'm sure you understand why I can go around revealing myself."

Bulma nodded. "So does anyone else know?"

"Well Gohan knows I'm his son, and Piccolo knows who both my parents are. I think that's it. Nobody else knows."

"Actually, Vegeta knows who your mother was." Bulma saw Neo's eyes widen with worry. Neo remembered what happened when Vegeta in another timeline found out who his parents were. "Don't worry, he still wants to train you. He just shrugged it off. He found out because he was looking over my shoulder when I discovered the identity of your mother."

Neo let out a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing he's okay with this. I'm glad that he still wants to train me."

After that, Bulma and Neo went their separate ways. Neither knew that Vegeta had been eavesdropping on their conversation. An amused smirk formed on his face.

He left the hallway, heading for the living room so he could lounge around for a little while. So Kakarot's son and that android woman got together…the resemblance is clear now. It's kind of amusing…but it doesn't change a thing. I'm not about to quit on him when he's making such good progress.

Vegeta then directed his attention to the sky. Glorft will arrive in a few years. Kakarot…I know that you've been watching. I know that you'll find a way to come back, and I know that you know the identity of your grandson.

"Dad!" Trunks ran up to his father with an eager smile. "Can you train with me? I want to become stronger and fight Glorft too."

Vegeta chuckled before ruffling the boy's hair. "I don't know about being able to fight Glorft, but if you want to get stronger, I'll be happy to spar with you for a while."

Trunks beamed with delight as his father took him to the gravity room.

Goku's eyes widened at the revelation as he stared down at Bulma who was talking to Neo. Supreme Kai and Kibito stood several feet back talking to the elder Kai.

"I told you he'd be like this if he found out," said Old Kai. "But then again, he would've found out anyway."

"Wow!" Goku's outburst startled them. "No wonder he's so strong. I never would've even imagined those two together…I mean the age gap is…"

"Not as large as you think," cut in Supreme Kai. "Actually, she's only eight years older than him. That makes her closer in age to him than to anyone else in your group except Piccolo."

Goku shrugged. "Yeah…but it still seems weird. I mean even the idea of Krillin being with her is…so strange."

"Well as long as it's kept on the low," said Old Kai, "it won't cause much of a problem. If Neo stays instead of returning to his timeline, they're bound to call him out on his identity at some point. However, anyone who already knows something about him can be trusted to keep his or her mouths shut about it. It'll be especially troubling if Eighteen were to find out that she's the mom."

Videl sipped her coke as she walked through a park in Satan City. She had been thinking about Neo lately, and the similarities between him and Gohan were becoming more evident. It seemed obvious to her that Gohan was Neo's father, but any maternal traits he had didn't quite match up with her. They both had blue eyes, but Neo's were icier and had a different shape to them. His hair was black, but was styled differently. His facial feature just seemed to be different all around. She could easily pick out Gohan, but was never able to find herself in him.

Gohan seemed to pick up on his girlfriend's uncertainty and put a hand on her shoulder. They stopped walking as she turned to face him. "What's wrong Videl? It looks like you've got something on your mind."

"Gohan…I've been wondering who Neo is. He seems so much like you. In fact, his face looks almost exactly like yours, except for the eyes. I think…I think that you might be Neo's father."

Gohan's eyes widened, and he didn't want to upset Videl. He decided to give her a cryptic answer, but one that would hopefully put an end to this topic. He had a much better place to take this conversation with her.

"Neo might be my son," said Gohan. "He made it clear that he doesn't want his true identity to be known."

Videl smiled knowingly. She knew Gohan and knew that he was trying to keep Neo's secret without sounding secretive to her. To her, this was enough confirmation that Neo was Gohan's son. However, Gohan picked up her realization and felt that he had to continue.

"There's more Videl," said Gohan with a slightly grim expression. He knew that they both knew he was Neo's father and he didn't want to get her hopes up. Neo would have been an awesome son to have, with a great intellect as well as a natural talent for combat, but unfortunately, Gohan and Videl would never have the joy of raising him. "Videl…" Gohan seemed hesitant to continue, but swallowed went on. "You're not Neo's mother."

Videl was silent for about a minute, processing the data. No she knew that Neo was the result of Gohan being with someone else. She wanted to ask herself who the real mother was, but knew that it might make her feel inferior. After all, there was no telling what a child between her and Gohan would be like.

"Videl? Are you…okay?"

"Yeah," replied Videl with a smile. "I'm a bit disappointed, but there's no point in being upset because someone from an alternate timeline isn't my child. This doesn't really change anything."

"That's good to hear," replied Gohan as he knelt in front of Videl. "I hope this isn't bad timing, but I want you to know that I love you, regardless of what kind of child you have." He paused a moment before pulling out a ring. "Will you marry me?"

News quickly spread among the Z-Fighters of Gohan and Videl's wedding. Mr. Satan paid for a modestly large wedding, saying that it was a sort of compensation to Gohan for taking the credit for beating Cell. Gohan didn't mind and was grateful that the spotlight wasn't on him. He was also glad that the media wasn't eating this up.

Neo continued to progress under Vegeta's tutelage while the saiyan prince himself, tried to get a better handle on his super saiyan 3 powers. Neo was glad that his father had found happiness with someone else instead of pursuing a fruitless quest to bring Neo into this timeline by finding his mother.

Bulma, Vegeta, and Piccolo were the only ones who knew his full secret, while his father and Videl both knew that Gohan was his father. Neo didn't feel like telling his mother that who he was as he was afraid of further jeopardizing his secrecy and opening a potential Pandora's box.

One year after the wedding, Videl gave birth to a daughter, Pan. Like Neo, Pan seemed to develop faster than a normal human baby, though unlike him, she was unable to attain anything close to super saiyan and her power was just around that of an above-average human.

Bulma determined that unlike him, Pan was 75% human as opposed to 60% human. Goku and Chichi had contributed equally when Gohan passed on his genes, which was why she wasn't born with a tail either. However, neither parent was disappointed with what they had and both took an equal part in training and educating her.

Shortly after Pan's birth, Bulma gave birth to her and Vegeta's second child, and they named her Bra. She seemed to resemble her mother, but traits from her father would pop up now and again. Unlike Pan, she wasn't particularly interested in fighting, though the two still got along like the best of friends.

Five years went by and Neo knew that Glorft would arrive soon. The others didn't seem worried and continued their lives as normal, though Neo could sense that Piccolo, Vegeta, and Gohan were more perked up than usual. They were all ready to see when Glorft would make his move, though they were all aware of that fact that Neo's visit could have a serious and drastic alteration on how things would play out.

I know that time skips aren't that fun, but it would be too tedious to write about random events from the five years left before Glorft's arrival, so I just decided to skip ahead. This story should end in around four or five chapters. I hope you enjoy this.
